This Illinois correctional plan for fiscal years 1987-1989 presents the goals, objectives and results for various correctional components for fiscal years 1987 and 1988 as well as the goals, objectives, and performance measures for fiscal year 1989, including detailed discussions of plans for high-priority issues.
Abstract
The 1989 plan is based upon a budget request of $442 million. This will enable the Department of Corrections to relieve prison overcrowding through the addition of 347 adult beds. Even with this expansion, however, the projected inmate population will still exceed rated capacity by over 800 inmates and will be 126 percent over ideal capacity by the end of fiscal year 1989. Other issues addressed in the plan include reducing drug-related incidents in State correctional facilities, developing a long-range plan to reduce persistent crowding in maximum-security institutions, providing needed programs and services for both adult and juvenile offenders, and managing very high community supervision caseloads. An overview of the Department of Corrections includes mission statement and goals, the planning process, and management support. Tables with information on goals, objectives, results, and performance measures are presented under the categories of adult institutions and community correctional centers, the juvenile division, and community supervision. 45 tables and 6 figures.
